I need your help

Here is the deal. I have a wedding coming up. The background is that when Trev and I got married are car was demolished, bird seed shot out of the vents for a year and we never did get all the bird seed out of the lights. I have been planning my revenge on all those involved (they all ratted each other out) the first of which is getting married at the end of april.

What have you had done/seen done/ heard of being done to peoples cars when they get married. This will be my first masterpiece and I can use all the juicy tidbits I can get. Don't hold back. If I don't get enough I will have to google it.

Has anyone else seen this. LOL. I really don't know what to think. Slightly disturbed that they are teaching kids this but couldn't stop laughing. How would you like that on your resume : Potty Dance Rapper.

One Picture





One poem

Silvery - Dennis Lee
Silvery, Silvery
Over the trees
The moon drifts by on a
Runaway Breeze

Dozily, Dozily,
Deep in her bed,
A little girl dreams
With the moon in her head

One Song

Asian Lettuce Wraps

One of my favorite things to do when I lived in Utah was to go get lettuce wraps from PF Changs. Well I made some. They seem as good as I remember, of course I haven't had them in years, but it stood up to my memory.

The pictures don't do it justice.

This is what I did.

half an onion chopped

1 garlic clove minced

3 chicken breasts

6 T Hoisen Sauce

4 T soy Sauce

1 tsp oil

1/2 a tsp. chili garlic sauce ( next time I will add more)

I cooked the first 3 in the pan until brown and then added the rest. I cooked up some rice with it also and of course the lettuce to wrap it all up in.

MMMMMMMM

The follow up

So the next Monday we did find out why the bank had taken our money. I was so MAD.

They had linked my bank account to someone elses (eh?)
How did they do that? I don't know.
Why did they do that? I really don't know.

Anyways the good news is that I happened to know the person who got my money (what are the odds), the bad news the bank thought it was okay to take the money from my account and put into their account because it was overdrawn.

After a lot of yelling ( I had been doing so good but this was ridiculous, the lady wouldn't listen to me that this was WRONG and I was pretty sure it was ILLEGAL too. )

and threatening to call my lawyer (I love my Daddy)

and a visit with the other person (who was even more confused by it than I was, and was very suprised when they got the money).

The bank transferred the money back. They never apologized, they never called to say that they had done it, I found out it was back by checking my online banking. I think something is wrong with this. Honestly, when you steal someones money and give it to someone else shouldn't you call and say "I'm sorry we are idiots, we gave it back." Well it is all better and as soon as I get my tax return I am going to take the many hours it will take to switch my cctb and my uccb and my tax return deposits into my good bank account.

(although my mom has been with them for at least 20 years and has NEVER had a problem with them. I guess I am just special)

House update

They have painted the first coat inside the house and the guy was finishing up the siding when we walked through today. I am SOOOO excited!!.

Sam is walking

Unfortunatly I wasn't thinking and the movie is sideways. It is so funny to watch him walk around and he is getting so determined to do it. Practice practice practice. Of course his greatest motivation is food. This kid eats me out of house already what will I do when he is 14?

The day of MANY posts

Today my life was saved by Lays Wavy Original Potatochips. I usually don't even like them. I don't like dip so I don't see the point in eating them. I have lived in the bathroom today. I forgot my Diclectin last night and all day anytime I eat look or think of food I have ended up puking. I AM STARVING. I went to the Briar last night with my Mom (sooo much fun!!) and so my Dada and some other guys came over to play cards with Trevor. They left the chips. In an act of stavation and desperation I tried one small bit, and I finished the bag. This is after soda crackers upset my stomach. If I didn't have children I would have made a bed p in my bathroom and slept and read all day. My house is destroyed but my stomach is holding the chips down for now.

I watched this movie today. I would skip to minute six and watch the last three you will get the jist of it. SOOOOOO funny. Funnier from the beginning but kind of long. The poor man, I would have died.

Potty training I will give no comment, I haven't given up ... ... ... boo.

Sam can climb on kitchen chairs by himself and from the chair onto the table. He was mad at me today when I hauled him off of it because he walked off the edge twice. He didn't know what my problem was.

The two of them play together all the time now and they have so much fun. I love it. Lizzy has been so helpful with me being sick it is nice to know that they entertain each other. Even at the expense of my pantry and fridge. Hope veryone is having a good day!

I want this

I want this tummy thing I think it would be so handy. I have been looking at maternity clothes online before I go downstairs and find my box. Honestly who has the money to spend over $100.00 on somthing they will only fit in for 4 or 5 months at a time very 2 or 3 years. Maybe I am just cheap.

I have officially decided

THAT WINTER IS OVER!!! I know I don't really get a vote in these things but I think it is about time. Last week was soooooooo cold. Can't that be the end. I bought my kids new spring/summer clothes. Crocs to wear outside, I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE! Anyways I am sure I am just getting my hopes up but it is suppose to be above zero for at least two weeks. The weather channel said so.

Eggs

My children must be criminal masterminds. Lately they have gotten into everything. A whole gallon of milk on the floor makes a great slip and slide. Chocolate syrup on the floor is a great paint medium. But eggs...oh eggs, more fun than you can bargain for. They cracked a half dozen into the produce drawer in the fridge. But here is the really funny one.

I was getting ready to make supper and Trev was out shoveling the walk. When he came in I went upstairs to go potty. (side note, I hadn't started cooking yet which is very important.) Now our house is VERY small. Trev sat down at the computer just out of view of the kitchen. In the time that I walked up stairs their plan was put into action. Lizzy opened the fridge and Sam sat in the doorway holding it open Lizzy climbed up on a chair by the stove with a pan. Sam then passed her the eggs one at a time and she attempted to crack them into the pan. All over the floor. Trevor walks into the kitchen and sees Sam holding one egg in each hand high above his head getting ready to throw them. Lizzy is saying "hahaha throw them Sam". Sam stops and looks at Trevor like uh oh. I then come back downstairs. I was very nice. I guess I wasn't cooking fast enough. I think it is HILARIOUS!

What happens...

when the bank mysteriously withdraws half the money in your bank account?

You spend half you day on the phone talking to person after person who "doesn't know why it was withdrawn you should call ..."

To finally be passed to upper management (you still have you cool at this point to which you are very proud)
and they say. "Well i don't know either, we will open an investigation and get back to you next week."
. . .
You respond "ummm I need that money"
upper management then responds " well I can't put it back in until we know why it was taken out why don't I just let you overdraw your account until then."
. . . .
to which you think ... because I don't want to overdraw my account I want MY MONEY!!!
You tell them no thank I will make due but please call me Monday and tell me what you have found out.

The good news
~ it is in the bank account you don't really use because you already HATE that bank.

The problem.
~ the awful feeling in your gut this isn't going to be a quick fix because you hate that bank and you know how stupid they are.

The solution
~ deal with it and write on your blog.

Sorry for all the rants lately

Yum Yum Yum

I made this last night (Not my picture, I forgot)


Yes it is as yummy as it looks.

I didn't use the white chocolate chips I used peanutbutter ones, and I left out the nuts.

Of course I found it on bakerella.

FUTURE SHOP = DEATH

I officially will NEVER shop at future shop again!!! The are a bunch of complete morons (oh the words I would rather use). We bought a microsoft office set for $150.00 bucks, which is quite a pretty penny. Turned out that my mom had a copy at her house and let us use it instead. So we go to return it but unfortunatly I had chucked the receipt. The product was still in its original packaging which is covered with futureshop propoganda stickers and pricetags etc. THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK. They have a "no return policy" which of course they never said anything about, because I wouldn't have bought it befor I checked with my mom if I had known that. I am writing letters to managers managers, I am ranting to EVERYONE I KNOW and I am going to drive as much buisness away from their store as possible. I am out to destroy. So I am not saying that you don't have to buy there. I am just saying buyer beware never buy anything you don't know if you won't need. Best Buy was cheaper anyways but they didn't have the product in stock.

Favorite time.

I LOVE getting Sam up from a sleep. You pick him up and him gives you the best hug you have ever had. He stretches both arms out around you as far as he can and just clings around your shoulder and arm. He holds on so tight and snuggels his head right into your shoulder. Sometime I just stand by his crib so can enjoy it for awhile longer.


p.s. Lizzy didn't have an accident all weekend when we weren't home, but had 2 on monday when we were. Apparently she only likes to pee in public washrooms.
